At this year’s Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, SanDisk announced that they would be delivering a microSD memory card capable of holding 1TB of storage memory. It was presumed that it would be available in April, but the date was extended over unspecified reasons.
The card named SanDisk Extreme microSD UHS-I Card – 1TB, is now available on SanDisk’s online store, with a price tag of $449.99.
SanDisk states that the 1TB card has 160MB/s read speeds and can go up to 90MB/s write speeds. The company also has a listing for a faster version, with read speeds up to 170MB/s and write speeds up to 90MB/s, but the release date is yet to be mentioned.
From first thought, there is literally nothing you can do with a 1TB microSD. But with data becoming a necessity over time, such a memory storage could stand in for you. If you have an enormous music collection that you keep adding on every now and then, or if your videography and photography is strictly 4K, this is for you.

This is not the first announcement related to 1TB storage capacity. Early last year, SanDisk showed up at the Consumer Electronics Shows (CES) with a prototype of what we would term as the world’s smallest 1TB USB-C flash drive.
Samsung also, this year, announced that it had began on mass production of what is likely to be the world’s first 1TB embedded Universal Flash Storage (eUFS) solution for phone manufacturers. The eUFS is a storage option on the Galaxy S10 Plus.
